   Alaska has a very long border, but it has only four highway crossings   
   and the odd little crossing between Hyder AK and Stewart BC.  I'd be   
   surprised if all five combined had the traffic of a minor crossing   
   like Ogdensburg, even counting the schoolkids in Hyder.   
      
   Look up the border crossing on the Top of the World highway on Google   
   street view, and you'll find a small green building on the border   
   shared between the US and CA border officers.

   ObRail: The Alaska Railroad doesn't go anywhere near the border, but there   
   are car float ferries between Whittier and Prince Rupert BC and Seattle.
